With increased human populations and subsequent pressure to develop or farm land, the
rate of fragmentation of tropical rainforests has accelerated in the past several decades …

An increase in edge area reduces the effective size of habitat fragments and thus the area
available for habitat-interior specialists. However, it is unclear how edge effects compare at …

Aim To examine the response of forest‐dependent and generalist bird assemblages and
feeding guilds to patch characteristics of forest fragments in the context of island …

Although studies have explored how habitat structure and disturbance affect arthropod
communities, few have explicitly tested the effects of both structure and disturbance level …

Nine natural populations of the rare evergreen tree Magnolia cathcartii (Magnoliaceae) were
sampled across its natural range, and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) …

Deforestation and degradation of productive lands are serious threats to the sustainability of
forestry/agricultural practices in Kenya. In the last two decades farm forestry (FF) has been …

Ecological theory predicts that habitat growth and loss will have different effects on
community structure, even if they produce patches of the same size. Despite this, studies on …

In spatially restricted environments, it is critical for the processes resulting from their
destruction to be fully comprehended to ensure quick and accurate protection measures …

Habitat degradation and loss threaten the survival of many bat species. Recent studies in
Madagascar however have found some species are present in areas of low forest cover …

Agriculture is arguably the greatest threat to tropical forest species. Conservation scientists
disagree over the relative importance of two opposing strategies for minimising this threat …
